I just realized that I've never seen a photo of a Whippet mounted on a railway wagon. Does anyone know of any? Hopefully in France, vs. initial shipment to the coast from the manufacturing site.

The sabre-rattling of the decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire, the support leant to it by Germany and the Entente's response to this, through to the sclerotising of the frontline in Fr...
Based on the photo in Kosar's "Artillerie in 20. Jahrhundert", I first thought this Bulgarian gun is a Obuchow 153mm Cannon M04.? But then I read online that most of Bulgaria's artillery came from Krupp in Germany and this piece could be a Krupp 15cm Kanone M1892. ? As always, thanks in adva...
